Yaacov Emden -- Contemporary attempts to revert to the original law of Rava : expanding the boundaries of loyalty -- Conclusion : reflections on loyalty and law.Talmudic legislation prescribed penalty for a Jew to testify in a non-Jewish court, against a fellow Jew, to benefit a gentile - for breach of a duty of loyalty to a fellow Jew. Through close textual analysis, Saul Berman explores how Jewish jurists responded when this virtue of loyalty conflicted with values such as Justice, avoidance of desecration of God's Name, deterrence of crime, defence of self, protection of Jewish community, and the duty to adhere to Law of the Land. Essential for scholars and graduate students in Talmud, Jewish law and comparative law, this key volume details the nature of these loyalties as values within the Jewish legal system, and how the resolution of these conflicts was handled. Berman additionally explores why this issue has intensified in contemporary times and how the related area of 'Mesirah' has wrongfully come to be prominently associated with this law regulating testimony.Informers (Jewish law)Witnesses (Jewish law)Conflict of laws (Jewish law)Criminal jurisdictionLegal polycentricityInformers (Jewish law)Witnesses (Jewish law)Conflict of laws (Jewish law)Criminal jurisdiction.Legal polycentricity.347/.066Berman Saul J.1075052UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910136613903321Boundaries of loyalty2583411UNINA03528nam 22006612 450 991078283630332120160115113125.01-107-20225-61-282-53918-397866125391830-511-71884-50-511-71929-90-511-51504-90-511-71838-10-511-80839-90-511-51632-0(CKB)1000000000747146(EBL)431981(OCoLC)609832722(SSID)ssj0000361386(PQKBManifestationID)11261517(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000361386(PQKBWorkID)10351858(PQKB)10103307(UkCbUP)CR9780511808395(Au-PeEL)EBL431981(CaPaEBR)ebr10297144(CaONFJC)MIL253918(MiAaPQ)EBC431981(PPN)261290088(EXLCZ)99100000000074714620101021d2009|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierHumanism in business /edited by Heiko Spitzeck [and four others][electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2009.1 online resource (xxxiii, 438 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 14 Jan 2016).0-521-72762-6 0-521-89893-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Half-tiitle; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Figures; Tables; Editors and contributors; Acknowledgements; Humanistic Management Network: paving the way towards a life-serving economy; Introduction: humanism in business; Part 1 Philosophic-historical grounding of humanism; Part 2 Towards an integration of humanism and business on a systems level; Part 3 Humanistic management; Part 4 The individual as a change agent for a humane business society; IndexWhat is the purpose of our economic system? What would a more life-serving economy look like? There are many books about business and society, yet very few of them question the primacy of GDP growth, profit maximization and individual utility maximization. Even developments with a humanistic touch like stakeholder participation, corporate social responsibility or corporate philanthropy serve the same goal: to foster long-term growth and profitability. Humanism in Business questions these assumptions and investigates the possibility of creating a human-centered, value-oriented society based on humanistic principles. An international team of academics and practitioners present philosophical, spiritual, economic, psychological and organizational arguments that show how humanism can be used to understand, and possibly transform, business at three different levels: the systems level, the organizational level and the individual level. This groundbreaking book will be of interest to academics, practitioners and policymakers concerned with business ethics and the relationship between business and society.Business ethicsHumanistic ethicsBusiness ethics.Humanistic ethics.174/.4Spitzeck HeikoUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910782836303321Humanism in business3849566UNINA
